</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I wonder what those "No Postage Necessary" envelopes cost the companies now-a-days. I was working as a postal clerk when postage stamps went from 4 cents to 5 cents and one of my jobs was adding those up and billing the companies for them. They were called "penalty" mail back then and the company paid the regular 5 cents postage plus 2 cents for each one. )</font>
OK, here is how it works. Companies that have business reply envelopes must first have a permit ($150 per year) and then setup a PO box or an account with the Post office. When they go to pickup the reply mail, they either have to pay the postage on the spot or their account will be debited. The post office may deliver the reply mail if an account has been setup and there is enough money in the account to cover the entire postage.
The Post office does not give credit terms, which means pay for postage up front (or have an account with sufficient funds) or the mail will be destroyed (it's usually shredded).
The average postage per business reply mail envelope is around 26 cents.
